An Iowa man was hit by a train after police say he killed his 2-month-old daughter.

Twenty-nine-year-old Calvin White of Nevada was charged Friday with first-degree murder and child endangerment after the baby's mother came home to find the infant not breathing and alone with another child.

The apartment is near a set of train tracks in the 200 block of West M Avenue.

"It's disturbing because you don't think of that happening in a small town," said Maggie Barten, who lives nearby.

Police were sent to the apartment just before 2:15 p.m. on Monday, and shortly thereafter officers were sent to a pedestrian-train accident on the north rail tracks, where White was struck.

"I actually saw the ambulance and stuff go to the residence, and then I heard about somebody getting hit by the train," said Brett Anderson, of Nevada.

Police said White was walking west on the railroad tracks when he was hit by the train. It's about a block away from the apartment building where police were called to the scene of the girl's death.

"It's disturbing," Anderson said. "Murder is one thing, but a little baby born in November? It's hard to imagine anybody would do something like that to an innocent child like that."

Police said White is charged with murder "based on the investigation."
